Assam MP Gaurav Gogoi Appointed Chairman of the Screening Committee

NEW DELHI: Although the exact dates have not been released yet, the state of Rajasthan will go to elections either towards the end of this year or at the very beginning of the next year. To that end, multiple political parties have started preparing for the same. These preparations make a lot of sense as the general elections of the country are also due in the first half of next year and Rajasthan has a total number of 25 seats in the same.

As a step towards the preparation of the polls in the state, the president of the Congress party, Mallikarjun Kharge has announced the constitution of a Screening Committee for the upcoming election in the state of Rajasthan. Gaurav Gogoi, the Congress member in Lok Sabha representing the Kaliabor constituency of Assam is to lead this committee. This committee has been created to ensure that the selections of the party candidates for the upcoming assembly polls remain transparent and consolidate the position of the party in the polls.

It is important to note that Rajasthan currently has the Congress party in power and the party wants to retain the same in the upcoming elections. Gaurab Gogoi is also the deputy leader of the opposition party in the lower house of the Parliament. The same committee also has Ganesh Godiyal and Abhishek Dutt to carry out a proper checking into the potential candidates of the party.

Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party had started its campaign in the state a long time back to ensure that they can take the power back from the Congress party with the Prime Minister addressing rallies in the state. Whoever wins this election, will definitely have an advantage in the upcoming general elections, scheduled to be held in 2024.
